Zafar looks at longer innings in Hi-Fi

Pakistani singer-actor Ali Zafar, who shot to fame with Tere Bin Laden, says the film was a stepping stone for him and he is looking forward to a longer innings in Hi-Fi (Hindi Film Industry) and aspires to do two-three films a year. "I am very comfortable in Hi-Fi now. I am looking for a longer innings in Hi-Fi. I am looking forward for my journey in this industry. I would do two-three films a year," Zafar told PTI in an interview.

The actor made his debut with Abhishek Sharma's Tere Bin Laden, a tongue-in-cheek comedy on Osama bin Laden, the world's most wanted terrorist. The movie, released last year, received an overwhelming response at the box office. "Tere Bin Laden was a stepping stone for me in Hi-Fi. I feel I am lucky and blessed to be accepted and loved by the people and film fraternity here. Since my first film has done well, people have some expectations from me. I don't want to disappoint them and would do my best."

The 30-year-old actor would be seen next in Aditya Chopra's Mere Brother Ki Dulhan which also stars Imran Khan and Katrina Kaif. Directed by debutante Ali Abbas Zafar, Mere Brother... is a musical romantic-comedy set around a love triangle. The film is likely to release in July. "In the film, Imran and I are brothers. Katrina is my fiancee. I am a very charming and flamboyant person who is confused about what he wants from life," the Pakistani actor said, giving a sneak peek into the Yash Raj Films production.

There is already a buzz that Zafar has been signed for Aditya Chopra's Dhoom 3 and David Dhawan's Chashme Baddoor. But the singer-actor chose to remain tight-lipped about the speculation. "I have another project coming from a big banner and it would surprise everyone. The announcement will be made very soon. Also, I am doing another romantic-comedy with a big and renowned director. Then there is one more script that I have liked but nothing has been finalised yet," said Zafar, who is popularly known as Prince of Pop in Pakistan. About his co-stars, he said, "I have seen both Katrina and Imran's films. I liked Katrina in Rajneeti and Imran was too good in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and I Hate Luv Storys. Both are really good and hard working actors. I don't have any difference with the two as reported in media."

Zafar recently launched his album, Jhoom, under the banner of Yash Raj Music in India and across the world.
